Id guess that has been parked against that pole/camera or whatever it is, and something has slammed into the uno and crushed it into that post!




Ren5 Turbo's are cool little things but they require a lot more love and attention than most older cars imo, a few mates have had them and looked after and tickled up a bit theyre bloody quick!

I like them

Altho a good friend of me and Craig had one, a Raider, he spent a mint on the engine, bout 220bhp iirc, kept blowing up tho lol

Uno's are MEGA MEGA rust buckets, like any Fiat from the era

Uber rare car now, I drove one a couple of times. Bloody quick little car. Too much plastic and they burn looms easy, some wiring issue with the rad fan.
The one I drive the drivers seat kept falling back, super fun. Reminds me of my mates metro turbo.

Nova's do that as well though, passengers without any weight in it slowly rattles down into a mega gangsta lean pose.

you should see the more door he transplanted into. because the intercooler didnt fit properly it needed bumper and in turn the bonnet lol

i absolutely love r5 turbos, would love one but i dont think i have the balls to buy one.
Mate had a blue raider on oz turismos which looked awesome. He sold it to another mate who put a 3k+ engine with charge cooler setup etc in and forged internals etc. Loving the saying people have for these about having wingnuts as headbolts lol
You can get some lovely looking ones and look alot better then novas when done well imo

Absolutely loved it, sold it about 6 years ago for £2k. Was up for sale a few months ago for £4.5k.

Had 40k miles on when I sold it and was running about 180bhp.

I haven't seen one for years! Oli from Sky has/had one though. Check his posts on here for it mate.

I still remember the Max Power feature of a grey Hornman (sp?) kitted one with Delta Integrale wheels on. That looked the business. :d

Ive had 4 Mk2 Uno turbos.. I would get another in a heartbeat BUT I've got 7 MR2s at the moment.. I'd love to find a low mileage original Mk1 Turbo.. Great cars the Uno's.. strong little engines, they run a bar of boost all day every day which makes it a quick little car.. sure it wont beat everything but it will embarass a lot of cars, imprezas, Audi TTs etc..

Here's my last one:
